The award winning International Bond from Standard Life International is a flexible tax efficient investment vehicle. It offers virtually tax-free growth* as well as allowing control over when tax is paid. The minimum investment of £20,000 (£100,000 for discretionary fund managers and whole of market funds) gives access to a diversified range of investments including:

• Funds - insured, platform and whole of market
• Discretionary fund managers (DFMs)
• Bank deposits and structured deposits

(Banks, fund managers and DFMs may have their own minimum investment.)

This bond can also be used with a range of estate planning solutions and is issued with 100 segments (more can be added on request), offering ultimate flexibility on encashment or assignment.

*Except for irrecoverable withholding tax, where the client invests in a net fund, Standard Life International will reclaim tax where possible.
